with one of the included extended back doors. A total of 4 

doors are supplied with the LCD BacPac; 2 waterproof

IMportant safety and  

HandlInG InforMatIon

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions 

could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or 

damage to the LCD BacPac or other property.
hAnDLing 

The LCD BacPac contains sensitive components. Do not 

drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, 

shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign 

objects into the LCD BacPac. Do not use the LCD BacPac 

if it has been damaged—for example, if LCD BacPac is 

cracked, punctured, or damaged by water.
The LCD screen is made of glass. This glass could break 

if the BacPac is dropped on a hard surface without the 

waterhousing or receives a substantial impact or is 

crushed, bent, or deformed. If the glass chips or cracks, 

do not touch or attempt to remove the broken glass. 

Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered 

under the warranty.

kEEPing thE LCD CLEAn

Clean LCD screen immediately if it comes into contact 

with any contaminants that may cause stains, such as 

ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and lotions. To clean 

the LCD, use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid 

getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, 

household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, 

ammonia, or abrasives to clean LCD BacPac.

whEn not in houSing

When not protected in the waterhousing, do not use the LCD 

BacPac in rain, or near washbasins or other wet locations. 

Take care not to spill any food or liquid on the LCD BacPac. 

In case the LCD BacPac gets wet, turn off and unplug from 

camera before cleaning, and allow it to dry thoroughly 

before using again. Do not attempt to dry the LCD BacPac 

with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or 

hair dryer. Damage to the LCD BacPac caused by contact 

with liquid is not covered under the warranty.
uSing ConnECtoRS AnD PoRtS

Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstruc-

tions on the port. If the connector and port don’t join with 

reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure 

that the connector matches the port and that you have 

positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
kEEPing thE LCD BACPAC within  

ACCEPtABLE tEmPERAtuRES

The LCD BacPac is designed to be operated in tempera-

tures between 0° C and 40° C and stored in temperatures 

between 0° C and 50° C. Low-or high-temperature condi-

tions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the 

LCD BacPac to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid 

dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using 

the LCD BacPac as condensation may form on or within 

the LCD BacPac. When you’re using the LCD BacPac  

or charging the battery, it is normal for the LCD BacPac  

to get warm. The exterior of the LCD BacPac functions  

as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the  

unit to the cooler air outside.
